Thanks PB, it was the most emotional time in my life. My brother and his wife are coping as best they can. It was their only son and natural born child, they adopted a daughter before Benjamin was born. He was buried at Fort Leavenworth with his fallen comrades which is what he wanted. They actually closed I-70 during the procession to Fort Leavenworth from Independence MO, if all of you can do me a favor I would appreciate it. On the day of the funeral the demonstrators were across the street at a Sonic and they turned on the sprinkler system which dispersed the demonstrators, so if you can visit a Sonic for support I would personally appreciate it. As we were driving through Fort Leavenworth they were lined up on both sides of the street with flags, hand over their hearts, preschool kids were in the fenced in playground holding flags with the hands over their hearts, then when we got to the interrment building, they played Amazing Grace on the Bagpipes, then the 21 gun salute, then Taps, I was balling like a baby for 10 minutes straight. I gotta go, I'm kind of tearing up now, have a good day and enjoy everyday you have on this earth, tell the wife I said hey.
